LBaas, How do we assign floating IP to the VIP

I have two nodes added to load balancer with private IPs and add vip with an IP from the private tenant IP range. I am ble to load balance the traffic. Now I want to make this public and assign a floating IP. What is the method for doing that?
I tried to create VIP with external floating IP so that it can be resolved from outside but it does not work and had to revert the changes.

If you are using Havana you can do this in the "Access and Security" section under "Floating IPs."

You'll setup the VIP first, then go to floating IPs and associate the floating IP address with the port that matches the IP of the VIP you created. I noticed that I was having issues with this at first, but it was due to errors in the lbaas logs. If you assign the floating IP to the VIP and are unable to ping it, or hit it on the ports you have set it up for, then I'd recommend looking at the logs in:

/var/log/neutron/lbaas-agent.log

I had issues with it before because I didn't have certain executables that were needed to use it.
